Ronnie emails: "Good Afternoon Dr Boyer. I wanted to
show you the new design my 8 year old grandson came up with for a clock.

I have attached the file. This is his
version of my Simplicity. :)

Was made out of scraps I sent him from
my wood shop. This is priceless.

As soon as I can I am going to order the
electronic plans for the Genesis clock so I can cut the gears for my 11 yr
old grandson. :)

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.

Thank you for so many wonderful clock
plans.

Ronnie, that is absolutely delightful! I had such a
wonderful chuckle when I opened that picture of your grandson's work of art. You know, it reminds me of a
clock designed by Thomas Edison for his shop. I've included a picture of Thomas
Edison's wooden movement. It is similar in style and just confirms the
comparative genius of your grandson.

Merry Christmas and a happy and successful
New Year.

Enjoy! Clayton

Ronnie emails back: "Thank you. When I saw my grandsons
picture, I had to smile as I was very proud. I will pass your picture and
comments along that to my grandson.

I am encouraging all my grand kids to
be creative and how to make stuff with their own hands. Your clocks help me do
just that. I very much appreciate all you have done for the wooden clock
community.
